"Hylätty" in this context means "rejected." "Ilmoita" means "inform, announce, let know." > So you're saying that learning to be a fluent speaker of English is a > pre-requisite of being a programmer? No more than learning Latin is a prerequisite of being a doctor. Nowadays software companies and communities are international. You never know who needs to maintain your code. At work, I need to maintain code that was created in Japan, with coworkers from all over the world. The Japanese author had had a hard time with English, and made some awkward naming choices, but had the common sense to use English-only names in his code. I also think log file timestamps should be expressed in UTC. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
